Share.

This Game Boy Color game is on the way to stores. Here's our preview before the full review.

By IGN Staff

Watch out, guys ¿ the Game Boy system is quickly appealing to the gaming gals. Acclaim's Mary Kate & Ashley and Mattel's Barbie series are proving that the little color handheld isn't just for guys anymore. And THQ's next Rugrats game, Rugrats: Totally Angelica is definitely not for the masculine gamer. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Infra-red port support for data exchange between systems

Only for Game Boy Color

Players will assume the role of the snotty brat Angelica in an action game where she must collect various items including clothes and shoes ¿ after she collects the items, she can pout on a fashion show to continue onto the next level. There will also be mini-games hosted by Rugrats characters, including Chuckies Color Challenge, Tommy's Match-the-Card game and Phil and Lil's Bug Hunt.

The game will also feature an electronic diary where players can keep an inventory of all collected items, as well as friends' names and phone numbers. Players can also send messages to friends via the Game Boy Color's infra-red communications port, similar to what Infogrames and Rebellion have done with the Game Boy Color version of Mission Impossible.

The whole Rugrats gang is in here -- so if you follow the cartoon at all, you'll recognize all the little drooling faces: Tomy, Phil, Lil, Suzie, Chuckie, and the slobbering dog Spike.

Rugrats: Totally Angelica is being developed for THQ by Tiertex, the development company responsible for other THQ Game Boy Color games such as NHL 2000 and Madden 2000. The game should be ready to go this Spring.
